    Trauma and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)

    Trauma creates havoc to our mental well-being. Approximately 1 in 11 people will be diagnosed with PTSD in their lifetime.

    OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)

    OCD is when a person has unwanted thoughts (obsessions), as well as uncontrollable urges to stop the thoughts (compulsions). People with OCD may spend their entire day obsessing about something and/or engaging in compulsive behaviors. When medications and cognitive behavioral therapy are no longer working, Ketamine may provide quick relief from OCD symptoms.
